according to a recent national health statistic report the weight of male babies less than 2 months old is in the U.S is normally distributed with mean 11.5 pounds and standard deviation 2.7 pounds

a) what proportion of babies weigh less than 15 pounds

b) what proportion of babies weigh between 13 and 15 pounds

c) is it unusual for a baby to weigh more than 17 pounds

Answers

Answer 1

The mean [tex]\mu =11.5[/tex] pounds;

the standard deviation is [tex]\sigma =2.7[/tex] pounds.

Let the variable [tex]X[/tex] be the weight of male babies less than 2 months old. It is normally distibuted with a law

[tex]X\sim N(11.5, 2.7^2).[/tex]

Find the variable

[tex]Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma},[/tex] that is normally distributed with a law

[tex]Z\sim N(0, 1).[/tex]

Part A.

If X=15 pounds, then

[tex]Z=\dfrac{15-11.5}{2.7}\approx 1.2963[/tex] and

[tex]Pr(X<15)=Pr(Z<1.2963)\approx 0.9032[/tex]

Part B.

If X=15 pounds, then

[tex]Z=\dfrac{15-11.5}{2.7}\approx 1.2963.[/tex]

If X=13 pounds, then

[tex]Z=\dfrac{13-11.5}{2.7}\approx 0.5555[/tex] and

[tex]Pr(13<X<15)=Pr(0.5555<Z<1.2963)\approx 0.9032-0.7123=0.1909[/tex]

Part C.

If X=17 pounds, then

[tex]Z=\dfrac{17-11.5}{2.7}\approx 2.0370[/tex] and

[tex]Pr(X>17)=Pr(Z>2.0370)=1-Pr(Z<2.0370)\approx 1-0.9793=0.0207.[/tex]

This means that approximately 2% of babies are born with weight more than 17 pounds and, therefore, seems to be quite unusual for a baby.

Answer 2
Final answer:

Using standard normal distribution properties, we calculate that about 90.32% of babies weigh less than 15 pounds, around 19.07% of babies weigh between 13 and 15 pounds and just 2.07% of babies weigh more than 17 pounds, which is considered unusual.

Explanation:

These questions are solved using the properties of the normal distribution. The standard score (or z-score) is calculated with the formula z = (x-μ)/σ where x is the value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

For babies that weigh less than 15 pounds: Z = (15-11.5)/2.7 = 1.30. You then use a standard normal table (also called a z-table) to find the proportion associated with this z-score, which is about 0.9032. Therefore, about 90.32% of babies weigh less than 15 pounds.

For babies that weigh between 13 and 15 pounds you need to find the z-scores for both weights and identify the difference. Therefore, for 13 pounds, z = (13-11.5)/2.7 = 0.56, and for 15 pounds z=1.30 as calculated before. The odds of a weight between the two is approximately 0.9032 - 0.7125 = 0.1907. So, about 19.07% of babies weigh between 13 and 15 pounds.

For a baby to weigh more than 17 pounds, you again calculate the z-score which results in z = (17-11.5)/2.7 = 2.04. The proportion associated with this z-score is about 0.9793 but since we want to find the proportion of babies weighing more than 17 pounds we do 1 - 0.9793 = 0.0207 meaning only about 2.07% of babies weigh over 17 pounds. This is well below 5%, so it is considered unusual.

You earned $96.15. You would like to buy some new T-shirts. Estimate the number of T-shirts you can buy if each one costs $13.75.

Answers

the answer is six shirts. 96.15÷13.75=6.99
We can't round because we are working with money. That is why you can only buy 6 shirts, not 7.
Final answer:

By dividing the total amount of $96.15 by the cost of one T-shirt at $13.75, you can estimate buying approximately 7 T-shirts. You round down to the nearest whole number, so you can purchase 7 T-shirts.

Explanation:

To estimate the number of T-shirts you can buy with $96.15, when each T-shirt costs $13.75, you first divide the total amount of money earned by the cost of one T-shirt.

$96.15 ÷ $13.75 = approximately 7 T-shirts

Since you can't buy a fraction of a T-shirt, you will round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you can purchase 7 T-shirts with $96.15, assuming there is no sales tax or additional costs.

Answers

Final answer:

Mark has ridden 32.17 kilometers so far this week, and to complete his 50-kilometer weekly training goal, he needs to ride an additional 17.83 kilometers.

Explanation:

Mark is in training for a bicycle race and needs to ride 50 kilometers a week. He has already ridden 18.23 kilometers on Monday and 13.94 kilometers on Wednesday. To calculate how much more he needs to ride to meet his goal, we will add the distances he has already covered and subtract that sum from the total required distance.

First, we add the distances covered:

18.23 km (Monday)+ 13.94 km (Wednesday)= 32.17 km (Total ridden)

Next, we subtract the total ridden from the goal for the week:

50 km (Weekly goal)- 32.17 km (Total ridden)= 17.83 km (Remaining distance)

Therefore, Mark still needs to ride 17.83 kilometers to complete his training for the week.

3 + x/2 = 10 ..............This is given

Step 2)

This step is wrong. This step is called "Subtraction property of equality". This means you have to subtract 3 from both sides

Hey there!!

In order to solve for the area, let's divide this figure into two rectangles.

Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth

First rectangle at the top - Length = 8 and width = 3

Hence, the area would be = 24cm²

The second triangle measures : Length = 3 and the width = 5

Area = 3 × 5

Total area = 24cm² + 15cm²

Answer:

Option D is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle given on the graph has the center at origin (0, 0).

We have to find the point (2, √6) lies on the circle or not.

If the point lie on the circle then distance of this point from origin = radius of the circle.

Given from the graph radius = 3 units

Now distance of point (2, √6) from (0, 0) = [tex]\sqrt{(2-0)^{2}+(\sqrt{6}-0)^{2}} =\sqrt{4 + 6}=\sqrt{10}=3.16[/tex]

Distance between the point and origin is more than radius 3 units.

Therefore point doesn't lie on the circle.

There is 1 solution, which is 3/4.

To show this, you actually have to solve the equation. First, you distribute -1 into(9 - 3h) and distribute -3 into (h + 2). In doing so, you should be left with "6h - 9 + 3h = 6 - 3h - 6". Next you combine like terms on each side, so you add 3h to 6h and you subtract 6 from 6. Now you should have "9h - 9 = -3h". Then, you start to solve by subtracting 9h from both sides. You should have -9 = -12h, which you divide -12 on both sides to get h by itself. Finally, you have h = 9/12 (since the negatives on the top and bottom cancel out) which simplified (divided by 3/3) is 3/4. Thus meaning there is only 1 answer.

Final answer:

The missing numbers in the given unit rates are 4 and 3 respectively, obtained by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

Explanation:

To find the missing number in a unit rate, divide the numerator by the denominator. In your first example, 32 divided by 8 equals 4. Therefore, 32/8 = 4/1. Similarly, in your second example, 21 divided by 7 equals 3. Therefore, 21/7 = 3/1.

Example: 2 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

We have,

The number of students who walk for every 7 students who ride the bus.

This can be written as,

2 students walking = 7 students on bus _____(1)

Number of students who ride the bus = 105

The number of students who walk.

From (1) we get,

2 students walking = 7 students on the bus

Multiply 15 on both sides.

15 x 2 students walking = 15 x 7 students on the bus

30 students walking = 105 students on the bus

This means that,
